Can you print a test page?

596464 2007-09-30 20:28:00 Try printing a test page, just to completley rule out software. It's EXTREMELY unlikely that will be any different..but it's worth a try.

Edit: Beat me to it... :p

596465 2007-09-30 20:29:00 no it does not seem to want to do anything..... :badpc: ummmm yea it makes all the noises its ment to when you plug it in, but nothing else after that =/ password (5384)
596466 2007-09-30 20:32:00 Try taking both ink cartridges out and putting them back in, have you been using genuine cartridges? wratterus (105)
596467 2007-09-30 20:36:00 ok i will try... yes, i have been using the genuine cartrages... it was fine the other day... password (5384)
596468 2007-09-30 20:37:00 nope nothing i think i have a dead printer.... you think i should just give up on it? i just have a very very important document to print.... hmmmmm password (5384)
596469 2007-09-30 20:58:00 Does the Print Head return to the Park position or the Centre?

I have one of these printers myself and when the Print Head dies (after many refills) it parks in the centre.

That’s the clue that your about $80 poorer. :(

596470 2007-09-30 21:15:00 hmmm sorry about the long reply... they stay in the centre but each time i refill it i buy brand new cartages anyway..... password (5384)
596471 2007-09-30 22:08:00 if the print head is permanently on the printer then just buying a new cartridge does not do anything, i don't know about that printer, if it is on the printer it self and not on the new ink cartridges then yeah ya will have to get it serviced, and a new print head put on it. from what i have gathered from previous posts this is the issue Cho (12330)
